Long time, no post...

The Dinner Menu

I am a creature of habit.  I find something I like and I stick with it.  Same rules apply with the weekly dinner menu.   So we often eat some of the same meals every week.  However, for the remainder of days I mix it up.  This week I mixed it up a lot by adding two new meals.  You can see these recipes among others at, Quit Eating Out.  

Sunday  

Hamburgers, Fruit Salad, & Chips

Monday

 Hawaiian Turkey-Ham Sandwiches with Pesto and Provolone {See recipe here!}  Salad greens with apples, blueberries, pecans with Raspberry Vinaigrette.   Sauteed carrots, red and green bell peppers with onions.

{Just have to add this sandwich was delicious!}

Wednesday

Menu Of The Week

If you've read my other blog you know I am a big fan of planning meals ahead of time. Not only does meal planning save time, it's a money saver! This week I added a new meal to the list, because variety is the spice of life! Last night we enjoyed Turkey Burgers for dinner. It was the healthier option to hamburgers and tasty! Instead of ordinary, enriched white hamburger buns, we opted for whole wheat. To spice things up a bit, I added roasted red bell peppers to the assortment of condiments--oh so good!

Sunday

Turkey Burgers, Baked Beans and Chips

Monday

Chicken & Steak Fajitas and Fruit Salad

Tuesday

Teriyaki Chicken, Rice, Gyzoa with Side Salad

Wednesday

Cobb Salad, Homemade Minestrone Soup with Bread

Thursday

Sausage & Hotdogs, Potato Salad and Veggie Tray

Tacos {a family favorite}

Saturday

Since we're talking about food, this is a great time to announce that beginning Saturday, Sparrow and I will begin hosting, Plan Ahead Saturday. Plan Ahead Saturday is a place where you can show and tell one of your favorite meals, salads, desserts or side dishes that's on your menu for the coming week. Its also a place where you can be inspired to make a new dish! Say goodbye to those dreadful moments contemplating what to make for dinner minutes before it needs to be on the table. I know I've been there, done that! Instead, join in on the fun and plan ahead!

Party button coming soon!

Until then have a frugalicious week!
